Late winter is some of the best time for pan fish, as the weather heats up so does the fishing, locate the weedline and drill out the area from the weedline into shore and use your electronics to locate active fish. Tip your jig with a waxy or a euro larva and drop it down to the to the fish on your electronics and keep your jig just above the fish. jig slowly and draw the fish in. Good Luck!

Got on a decent crappie bite right away in the morning out on Harrison's bay on lake Minnetonka. Caught fish from 6-9 am and then they shut off. Caught them early in 9 foot and then moved to about 13 as it hit around 8 am. I was using a a clam flutter spoon in the wonder bread color tipped with a wax worm and gulp crappie nibbles. My buddy was using a gold flutter spoon and doing the same thing and catching them as well (that's my buddy in the picture). Presentation was pretty standard. They were pretty finicky so you would jig until they got interested and then just dead stick once they start to come up to it and that's normally when they would bite.
